Satire is a common thing that is used all around us there three things I will be analysing for satire uses things like hyperbole, caricature, irony, metaphors and similes satire is used so widely in different this it does add humour to things like the TV series angry boys, musical parodies (weird al yankovichs perform this way) and political cartoons (sorry Band-Aid) .

In the musical parody perform this way by weird al yankervitch this song is a very different song but it does show satire by addressing that lady gaga is not actually how she is she just performs how she is. In lady gaga’s hit song born this way it tells you that she was born the way she is but in the parody it tells you know you’re not born that way you just putting it on for the public. Also it easily recognisable because she just dresses up the way she does in these wacko costumes it also makes fun of the costumes in the clip but in the visuals.

    Noel Pearson Summary

    • 376 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In Pearson’s speech, the criticism of John Howard, who was at the time the Prime Minister, throughout the speech shows the idea that the past Australian Governments had made a mistake in treating Aboriginal Australians in the past, and that modern day government is trying to forget that past because of the guilt and shame it had caused the Australian government in the past. Pearson directly quotes comments made by John Howard during a radio interview, but uses these comments to emphasise his own key arguments rather than support those being made by Howard. By using quotes from other sources he broadens the scope of his argument and makes his own argument less of a personal crusade. Pearson also focuses on National Identity and determining “who we are”. Pearson acknowledges the current debate of National Identity by making reference to the “hot button issue” about “the guilt about Australia’s colonial Identity”. The extended metaphor of button pressing and the cliché “You would not need to be a political genius” stresses the “great electoral resonance” of the National Identity debate. Another technique Pearson applies is the use of inclusive language in his speech. This is cleverly woven into the speech by repeated references to “our nation” and the action that “we” have to take to correct the injustices of the past. This facilitates Pearson’s depiction of Aboriginal rights being a social, political, legal and religious concern for the nation as a whole and thus presents Pearson’s view on National Identity and the global perception of “who we are”. The past shows that Australia as a nation…

    “Maintain your rage and enthusiasm.” (20th Anniversary: Maintain your Rage, 2014) This was the simple yet heavily implicating request left by Edward Gough Whitlam as he expounded his controversial dismissal from his position as Prime Minister of Australia. Born on 11th of July, 1916, Whitlam, who was a member of the Australian Labour Party, was known as “a force to be reckoned with” (40th Anniversary Of The 1974 Joint Sitting Of Parliament, 2014) and was a crucial figure in developing many Government schemes regarding the environment, heritage and federal legislation on human rights.…

    Satire and parody are two types of comedy that have been used all the way back to the era of Mark Twain. Satire resembles parody but it is critical and is used to educate or make a change. Parody is just poking fun at something with no purpose. The episode of the Simpson's on the Odyssey was a perfect example of a parody. The clip of the "Do the Right Thing" is a good satire. It has a white man pronouncing how his favorite celebrities are all black but yet he still uses the word nigger. Afterwards, there is a total chaos of racial slurs and stereotypes released into the Brooklyn streets. This can show us what happens when your feelings are released and just how mean it can be. This satire was funny and effective.…

    Satire is defined as a literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit. Voltaire, George Orwell and Charles Dickens used satire to provide a humorous perspective to the social, political and ideological views of their times. Candide by Voltaire, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Hard Times by Charles Dickens are very successful in using satire to show the flaws of each era 's current views. Voltaire, Orwell, and Dickens use different forms of satire to make their points. Voltaire and Dickens are very extreme with their depiction of satire, while Orwell uses a fable to soften his view. These three authors do a great job of using themes, characters, and style to satirically show the grey areas of their era.…

    Macdonald standing on a horse that has trampled over a plane of glass. John A. Macdonald is dressed in what looks like a makeshift costume made from plants. In front of John. A Macdonald is William Mackenzie dressed up as a Jester, picking his nose while holding a smaller plane of glass in front of John A. Macdonald’s face, similar to the one that the horse has went through. Behind John A. Macdonald are people most likely from the Liberal and Conservative parties, 4 of whom are ignoring John A. Macdonald who are probably the Liberals and two who are staring intently at John A. Macdonald as they are also in a tough situation since they are in the conservative party. This cartoon is essentially explaining John A. Macdonald's situation during the Pacific Scandal as the bottom of the historical cartoon says “Will he get through?”implying that wil John. A Macdonald get through the situation he is currently in like the Pacific Scandal showing that John A. Macdonald is currently in an extremely tough situation. This political cartoon proves to be very effective as William Mackenzie and his four Liberals seem to be very relaxed and obviously knowing that they are going to win the election as John A. Macdonald seems to have a scared facial expression as he is very unsure if he is going to make it through the Political scandal and not lose his reputation as the Prime minister of Canada. Relative size is also used in the Political cartoon…

    Satire is the use of humor or irony in order to raise critiques about people. Satire is found in many works of controversy or politics. Its uses are important because they point out the faults of a particular time and gives a voice to those who cannot openly express their views.

    Have you ever seen Jay Leno or Mad TV over exaggerate or mock the society? If you're up late enough and have, then, you probably encountered the works of satire. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn uses a great deal of satire. The author, Mark Twain, uses satire against religion, government, and society in general.

    Designers of all political parties, not just the Left, are capable of encouraging positive and negative change in the world. Graphic Designers, Cartoonists, and the Mainstream Media, are all aware of how impactful a strong emotional response can be, especially before a political event or poll takes place. Designers and Cartoonists draw inspiration from the media and social issues and incorporate them into their work. It is especially important that designers conduct more research than necessary to verify news sources and to keep in mind the potential political bias of the news source they get their information from. A picture is not exactly truthful these days and it is important to understand that the media can easily turn a picture into something it is not. Designers should take caution in developing political campaigns that use media stories and images to create more…

    The cartoon uses the IRONY that Obama is supposed to be a powerful man that stands up to anything as the president of the country, but he is instead scared to make the Republican Party angry and continues to compromise. PARODY is also used, a composition that imitates the serious manner and characteristic features of a particular work, or the distinctive style of its maker, and applies the imitation to a lowly or comically inappropriate subject. In this case, the use of parody is more powerful in its influence on affairs of current importance—the conflict between the two parties, politics--than its original composition. We know the original text that is being ridiculed. Obama said “I’m confident there is a middle ground here on which to base a compromise”, but he is bullied by the giant elephant. Also, CARICATURE, a literary style focusing on one characteristic, quality, or feature of a person or group of people, exaggerating it to a humorous level, and EXAGGERATION are used(Obama’s skinniness is enlarged so that his weakness is shown vividly).…
